lol!! From a governor that has thousands of thugs that he uses

Their are thugs and there are cultists

Some thugs roll in mature ways. They don't get involved in petty and senseless fights.

Not making excuses for them tho.

I concur with the governor and the GAC on this... Hope the same law is applicable to any law enforcement personnel who maybe a member of any cult group as well?

This chap is a confused idiot.

One minute he is signing an anti-cultism legislation into law,

And the next, appointing cult leaders like Ebo Stone and Tony Kabaka into official government positions.

The man is a stupid illiterate without a functioning brain.

A nuisance.

And I am hoping against hope that the election tribunal throws his ass out of Osadebe house.

Well done Mr. Governor.

Edo state is a hub of cultism and wickedness. If not for yahoo Ekosodin would be a grave yard for students and cultists. He did well by signing those stricter laws and it should be carried out with immediate effect.

Every cultist deserves nothing but painful and excruciating death.

My brother even as a Benin boy and I'm very ashamed to be called one because of this issue of cultism.
We are not the poorest tribe or state in the country but are known for her negativity all the time. Even the poorest tribe and state in Nigeria doesn't experience such vices.
This is a welcome development from the state government and I really appreciate it.

This is worth emulating, Delta state and Rivers state governments should emulate this as a matter of urgency.

There probably isn't any clear definition.
There is supposed to be freedom of association in this country.

Edo State is the capital or headquarters of cultism in the world ,if this is implemented it will reduces the cultism activities in Edo State.Because 9 of every 10 Edo State citizens living in Edo State are cultists.

The problem with Nigeria is not with our existing laws but its implementation.Is still not going to be easy to prosecute some of these so called cultist,we have to define who a cultist is and the last time I checked,some of these pseudo fraternities has gone legit.They are now registered with the CAC using acronyms that hides the very intention.
Well the Edo government is going to have his hands full and especially in a state notorious for being the headquarters of a particular 'cult' group.
My regards to an old friend/foe Tony kabaka,are you there?

they are outrightly after offenders. Cultists handwork no dey hide na. If them like make them register under fg. They are like witches and wizards. Na sha their children them be
